Yes please do the list (I wanted to suggest it last week but I thought it was too cheeky as you would have to do all the work

Re the DVDs, I have found that I am being offered about 30p per disk via places like music magpie. On ebay I list for 99p (free listing then) and if they sell it is usually only for 99p. Then you have ebay seller fee's (around 5/10% I think?), paypal fee's (20p + about 5% I think). The good thing about ebay is that you can jsut keep relsiitng them for free until they sell, but then you might only sell a couple at a time meaning a lot trips to the PO. Car boot sale you should be able to get around a quid in my experience.

Basically it seems that they are just not worth that much But if you have a lot that are just taking up space then you can get a few quid.

One alternative I have considered is a DVD circle with some friends - a few of you get together and pool all your unwanted DVDs, then either swap the ones you want or everyone take 2 a week and keep exchanging them. It won't earn you any money but it might allow you cancel Sky subscriptions, lovefilm etc while you watch each others DVDs....

Ok! So the list is up! :jYou all should have a number already. Let me know if I've missed anyone. I know most challenges do it alphabetically but I wanted to start with a list in the order you guys have contributed to this thread.

If you want to join/update the list from now on, just post in crazy big letters and I'll update it!

I figured you contributed and got us thus far so you deserve a number even if you just stopped by to add a tip or see how it's going. Well, now you have a number , you might as well hop on board Quit lurking and get on it!

Though from now on, I promise only those that ask will get added. General convo can continue without the list getting crazy.

Thaks for the list Little Miss, I have paid my 1% is £129.95 paid 2% so far (thought bold and colour might help if you are going to be looking through a long list) this is such a great challenge. :T

Liz paul the DVD circle is a great idea I would think that could save quite a bit of money.
